Stopped in and Lisa stated that my watercraft insurance limits were too low and she recommends upping them. With her upping the limits and insuring my truck and watercraft I am now paying around 1700 FOR THE YEAR. She literally cut my insurance bill in more than half. Discussing my new premium with some of my friends they are now going to have her price out insurance as well. Best of all it was an easy process, She emailed me the quotes and a couple of email responses later I was insured. Thanks for all the help!!!”

“We are so thankful for First Independent's hard work for our small business! When we first began looking for insurance for our new food trailer, we struggled to know what we needed and where to begin. After getting quotes that were way too high and completely out of our budget, we came across First Independent Descamps. They came back with a quote that was incomparable to any other agency. Thank you!”
